Elliot's Baby Blessing

Elliot's blessing day was really special. With alot of snow, we did not know who would attend, but everyone made it. Thanks! It was a small circle including; Tom, Bob Sr., Bob Jr., Dave, Ty, Jon, and the Bishop (Bishop Kelly Ammon). Tom blessed Elle "Elliot Betsy Burton", appropriately so, and then proceeded to call her 'Betsy' for the remainder of the blessing. The thing that stood out most in my mind about her blessing, was the blessing that she would pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ, and that she relizes he is the center of our religion. That she has a love for Him, and it is that love that compells her in life. Of course he blessed her to know that we love her sooooooooooo much, and I think she will always know that. She is a gift in our lives, as are all our children, and her timing has been a special gift. Brooklyn and Brody both adore her, and Brooklyn can make her laugh more than anyone. Elle watches Brooklyn all day long, and Brooklyn knows she has her attention, I pray she is a good example. She is so sweet to Elle, often saying, "ok sweetie pie" in the most darling baby talk. I thank Heavenly Father for all my children, they are "my life" as Brody would say :)

Elliot LOVES Kate's red hair. She screams at it until she can get a handful to put in her mouth. It is a really fun game, and it gets her going every time!
